the video above is the first of 5 videos in a series about reincarnation. but ignore the music. the type of music they chose make me angry almost. it's almost as if they're adding their opinion about reincarnation in a show that is supposed to be unbiased. putting in this ridiculous, scary, Dracula sounding shit makes the idea of reincarnation seem even more crazy, dark, weird, etc., when, in reality, it could be a very reasonable explanation for some events that could not be explained by any other means. note that the book and the second link show no connection between their idea of reincarnation and the typical religious (Hinduism, Buddhism, some sects of Islam and Sikhism, etc.) sense of reincarnation.

An article on Logic of Reincarnation by Steven J Rosen has beenpublished in The Speaking Tree of 11the July 2010. In this articlethe author enquires what is it that reincarnates from one body toanother? Is it the soul? the mind? the intellect? To understand thiswe should suggest answer to these questions. We all know that thereare four fundamental forces in the universe viz., gravitation force,electromagnetic force, weak nuclear force and strong nuclear force. Ihave written a paper entitled ‘Gravitation Force is the UltimateCreator’ and presented it at the 1st International Conference onRevival of Traditional Yoga held in Lonavla Yoga Institute, Lonavla inJanuary 2006. In this paper I have defined soul (individualconsciousness), mind and body. According to this every point ofaction of Gravitational Force Field is individual consciousness orsoul, electromagnetic force as the force of mind and weak and strongnuclear force as the gross material force which constitute physicalframe of body. Consciousness is All Intelligent and pervades everywhere. Althoughall other remaining three forces are also intelligent but they aresubordinate to Gravitational Force. THIS DESCRIPTION WILL HELP TOUNDERSTAND ‘WHAT IS IT THAT REINCARNATES FROM ONE BODY TO ANOTHER.According to Buddhism this is not the supreme atman or soul that tiesone life to another, instead it talks about past lives as evolvementof consciousness, emergence of a new personality from the same streamof consciousness.Unaccomplished activities of past lives are also one of the causes forreincarnation. Some of us reincarnate to complete the unfinishedtasks of previous birth. The is evident from my own story ofreincarnation:“My most Revered Guru of my previous life His Holiness Maharaj Sahab,3rd Spiritual Head of Radhasoami Faith had revealed this secret to meduring trance like state of mine. This was sort of REVELATION.HE told me, “Tum Sarkar Sahab Ho” (You are Sarkar Sahab). Sarkar Sahabwas one of the most beloved disciple of His Holiness Maharj Sahab.Sarkar Sahab later on became Fourth of Spiritual Head RadhasoamiFaith.Since I don’t have any direct realization of it so I can not claim theextent of its correctness. But it seems to be correct. During myprevious birth I wanted to sing the song of ‘Infinite’ (Agam Geet yehgawan chahoon tumhri mauj nihara, mauj hoi to satguru soami karoonsupanth vichara) but I could not do so then since I had to leave themortal frame at a very early age. But through the unbounded Grace andMercy of my most Revered Guru that desire of my past birth is beingfulfilled now.”I am one the chief expounder and supporter of Gravitation Force Theoryof God. This is most scientific and secular theory of God. I havealso discovered the mathematical expression for emotional quotient andfor spiritual quotient.Austrian Scientist Rudolf Steiner says,“Just as an age was once ready to receive the Copernican theory of theuniverse, so is our age ready for the idea of reincarnation to bebrought into the general consciousness of humanity”.
